I just love it when a "do you know who I am?" goes completely wrong.
A little backstory for as most people here aren't from Australia,
Eddie McGuire was the host of the Oz version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, he was also CEO of Nine Network (major TV station down here) and currently hosts another gameshow and is president of Collingwood Football club.
Well, he tried twice to get a branch of the RTA (US esquivalent would be DMV i guess) to open early as he doesn't have enough time to stand in line to renew his drivers licence like everyone else. The staff refused to do it and refused to let him speak to a manager. His next attempt involved turning up 10 minutes before closing, marching up to the counter and demanding to be served. The staffer told him to take a number and wait. He complained to the manager who (and this is an important lesson to all managers out there) backed up the counter staff and told him to take a ticket and wait in line like all the other people.
